The type of RNA modification that requires guide RNAs is_________ .
A)RNA editing
B)splicing together of exons
C)addition of the 7- methylguanosine cap to the 5' end
D)addition of the 3' polyadenylated tail
E)removal of introns

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

RNA editing is the type of RNA modification that requires guide RNAs. Guide RNAs provide a template for changing the sequence of nucleotides within the RNA molecule, which can alter the resulting protein product. Splicing, capping, and polyadenylation do not require guide RNAs, while intron removal is facilitated by the spliceosome complex.
